Passion: The Glam Effect

Many famous people in the world are helping people and the society in situations like global warming, bad health care, hunger and poverty. They spend their spare time at things that are a problem in the world, and try to make a different, and to make a fairer world. However, does it helps the causes they support?

The international soccer player Davis Beckham is one of many stars who supports UNICEF, one of the biggest helping organization in the world. Since 2005 has he given a helping hand to people who live in poverty and misery. He is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador with especially focus at sport for the children.

He has traveled to different kinds of countries in both Africa and Asia, to look at the work UNICEF do and watch the situation with the real eye. In 2008, he went to Sierra Leone with a team from UNICEF where they focused on the child's experience, with the high death rate in their mind and how the deaths could be prevented. He also travelled to South Africa to see the work with children and families who live with HIV and Aids.

Several times, he has been in Filippinene. Children over there are poor and weak because of the Typhoon Haiyan. He met the children, and saw how UNICEF supported them with health care, counseling and safe places to play and learn.

I think it is a good thing that stars involve themselves in work to help people in need. They try to make a different, and they do. Several famous people, for example Shakira, Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Alicia Keys, try to making a difference, to donate money or do volunteer work. They are also inspiring other people in the world to participate and help people who really need it with their status. When people hear about what there are doing, they want to do the same, and follow the star´s footstep.
